Where do the Chicago Bears fit into all of this?!

I showed it to my 8 year old son last night and he crinkled his nose as he tried to process it. Then he said "Isn't that a falcon? Maybe that would be OK if they were the Fighting Falcons". Needless to say, he wasn't impressed.

Really? For some reason I thought he never faced charges over this, and it turned out that the woman's story was full of holes, inconsistencies and lies and there was no physical evidence to show that this happened. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but that's a pretty big statement against someone who was never convicted of what you're accusing.

Yes, I'm a "Fighting Sioux" guy, but I had an open mind on this and was anticipating a cool logo. All I can say is.....ugh....not good...

Whoever's in charge of the music on the streaming link on UNDSports.com should be fired.

Interesting that there is already 1 "B" vote and 1 "F" vote, when nothing's been released yet...

Shaw? Nope.

You forgot this:

Meet the NHL's newest team: the Las Vegas Black Knights?

I'd be just fine with that, however I'm not so sure that you're correct. I wouldn't be surprised if they put in on the ice early on.

That's awesome! I wish this was a real story!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm not a huge Sidney Crosby hater. That being said, I agree, Crosby winning the Conn Smythe was a joke.

Congrats to you and your team, DaveK, on the Stanley Cup victory. It's good to see that you're humble about it.

6/13 update (Day 48) - sorry I missed the Game 5 update on 6/10...I was away. Here are the final standings. Congrats to DaveK on the win here at SS.com, and also to him and his Penguins on the Stanley Cup victory! 133 - DaveK 107 - Goon 94 - UND-RedSox fan 90 - petey23 73 - Sicatoka I 64 - Ray77 64 - Fetch 52 - Sicatoka II

I love you guys!

Isn't that exactly what I did? My reply to DaveK's original post* talked about having Kessel in front of future HOF'er Jaromir Jagr and current HOF'ers Paul Coffey and Ron Francis. But somehow when I state my opinion, that comes off as whining, childish, attacking, etc. Wow...just wow. *And yes, I know it's DaveK's "favorite all-time Penguins". If you're going to put a list like that on this message board and think you aren't going to get comments, then I don't know what to say.

Oh, this one? I see. Let me clarify. This was me pointing out how/why I think your posts are nonsensical. I guess I don't see any whining here. I see it, as you so eloquently put it, as back and forth banter that is done in good fun. You seem to like to come on here and gloat (which you certainly can) when Pittsburgh is doing well, however when people respond (when will I ever learn?!) you don't like it. I can certainly take it, it doesn't hurt my feelings, and I'm not whining. I can dish it out and take it as well. What's ironic is that you dish it, and when people respond you say you're "attacked". Sounds like whining to me.

How am I whining? I agree that the back and forth banter is in good fun. What makes you think otherwise?

Interesting you say that. I had no idea who 8 and 12 were, so I had to look them up - that's how insignificant they are to me, I guess. I'd say the same thing for 81 I suppose (although this article I thought was actually really good). And probably 13, 14 and 62. And 72. And maybe 58 as well. Like I said, I'm no Pittsburgh fan...but I'm not going to be torn to shreds if/when they win it. I'm OK with it, no matter how much DaveK thinks he earned it!

Yup, you've certainly earned it. You worked hard for it...and earned it. For the record, I am A-OK with Pittsburgh winning the Cup. While I think your opinions are a little "off" (to put it nicely), and they're certainly nowhere near my favorite team, I've never been a big Crosby hater and I think it'd be cool for Cullen to win another Cup before he retires. No problems with that at all.

It's uncanny how DaveK can do this every time. The tread goes from oddly funny to a bit bizarre to completely ridiculous....every....single....time. A few of my favorites: DaveK has "earned the right to gloat"...on a message board! Because Pittsburgh's going to win the Cup, he's earned the right to gloat. You can't make it up. Kessel is "DaveK's kind of player" because he cupped his hand to his ear when the Badger fans were booing him. Not because they just booed him, but because they booed him a lot. That's the distinction of what makes it OK. When asked about how he'd feel if Chara did that in Pittsburgh, he says Chara would be "in the right" if they were booing him. Umm....have you seen NHL games where hated players touch the puck and get booed constantly? If they ran around the ice after scoring and acted like a joker like Kessel did, they'd be called clowns too...and rightfully so. I love how DaveK tells us all the rules and when it's "right" to do something and when it's "wrong" to do something. And probably my favorite...he was "attacked" for his opinion on things. We all know there are those of us that aren't Pittsburgh fans and will disagree with his opinions...but now we attacked him! Grow some skin, Dave...it's a message board conversation where not everyone shares your opinion. And yes...I do believe that he does this to get a reaction out of us, and yes...I bit and fell for it...again. SMH.

6/7 update (Day 46): 122 - DaveK 103 - Goon 90 - petey23 90 - UND-RedSox fan 71 - Sicatoka I 64 - Ray77 62 - Fetch 51 - Sicatoka II

As do I!

You are very thin skinned if you think you got "attacked".

Geez...I guess I touched a nerve. No, he's fully entitled to his opinion...I hope you'll grant me permission to have mine, too!
